And Now: Featuring. . .
In the true spirit and tradition of troubadours of yore, John Wallace Morris has been around. He's served the navy in times of war, travelled and lived abroad, and walked across the U.S. on foot. Twice. It's that traveling spirit and lust for experience that inspire him. It's conveyed in his music; a blend of storytelling and emotive musicianship, with his own unique, finger-style instrumentation and deep, expressive vocals, that aims to invite the listener in. His sound is as varied as his influences, but draws on the more classic sounds of folk and country.

More Original Music!
This is a song I wrote and recorded in a day, a short while back, using a unique open tuning on my trusty Martin guitar.
A bluesy little 12 bar number of mine. All instruments besides the guitars were homemade, including my cigar box lap drum, penny-and-tomato can snare, and rebuilt foot tambourine.
A bit of a fantastical dip on this one -- check out the video for it on YouTube, as I wanted a more dynamic video for this song, so I played with some photos at different points from my life, adding a halo of sorts. I hope you enjoy! Much love
I recorded this one with my 1967 Guild Mark IV Classical guitar, mic'd up, and completely in my bedroom/recording studio, as always.
